Blending Shears, compared to
thinning/finishing shears, have a higher number of teeth per
inch of shear. Thus, the cumulative cutting surface is smaller
and less hair is removed with one motion. This allows them to
be used to soften harsh clipper lines by blending close to the
skin and also for bulk thinning.

Thinning/Finishing Shears have a lower number
of teeth per inch of shear. Thus, the cumulative cutting
surface is larger and more hair is removed with one motion.
This allows groomers to bulk thin larger areas at one time.
These shears are also great for finishing a "natural coated
breed" they create that natural look easily.
